Spent Grain Bread
« on: May 20, 2008, 08:25:21 AM »
I have talked with a couple of people about the bread I make with spent grains from all grain brewing.  A member of the AHA Tech Talk forums posted an excellent write-up of the process, along with a neat recipe I would like to try.  If you are interested, check out:

A great idea. I'm going to give it a try or also use left-over grains...

The tip about keeping the oven door partially open is a VERY good one.  Drying the grains out has taken me most of the day at 170 F in the past, but with the oven door open, they were dry in about 4 hours.  Venting the steam really helps.

Did you make any bread? I'm planning pizza chez Reinhardt for this weekend but plan on leaving out the trub from the dough and the spent hops from the tomato sauce. Maybe some other time.

LOL.  Yes, I have made bread with the spent grains many times now.  In general, you can substitute about 15 to 20% of the total flour weight with spent grain flour (I use 1/2 cup in a 3 cup recipe).  It darkens the color dramatically, over normal white flour, and imparts a kind of nutty, whole wheat, flavor to the bread.  I brought some to Evan's tasting, along with an herb butter, so I will let other people state whether they liked it.  I am definately a fan.
